Welcome to Andy's Modi Norway. How was Tel Aviv Norway Did?
Speaker 3:you guys enjoy Tel Aviv. Yeah, it was good. Well, you went to Norway. I killed?
Speaker 1:Yeah, nothing, I yeah. Literally, the announcement was if you hear sirens and bomb warnings, just sit in your seats, the building is protected. And here's Modi and we are on. Oh my God, when I began doing a podcast and Periel and Leo said who do you want on? For sure, the top three was Jim Norton, who I am.
Speaker 3:And me.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Well, you weren't in the arena yet. Oh right, you guys weren't married yet. You guys, you weren't you yet. Right, you weren't you yet.
Speaker 4:Well, I wasn't a boy still. I knew of you, I knew of you what. I wasn't a boy still.
Speaker 1:You weren't.
Speaker 1:No, we just didn't know you, no, but you weren't a public figure. You weren't a figure. I'm going to go back to my introduction. Jim Norton, a comedian that I adore, I look up to, I want to say maybe I began doing comedy before you, but I still see you as a mentor, Thank you. Your show on Sirius Radio that I'm always honored to be on, and just amazing, and for my audience, this is a very Jewish-y audience Gays too. We have Goyim, Gays and Theys. That's what we have. We're diversifying. I want to tell you one quick Jim Norton story, just so you understand how great his comedy is. I sat through one of his tapings of one of your shows, one of your specials. I sat next to a woman that ran a Passover program and I was her favorite comedian to hire and she was just sitting next to me and she was there because one of the producers of the show was someone that always worked for her and he was producing. So the thing was for Netflix.
Speaker 3:Oh, 2017, yeah.
Speaker 1:So she sat next to me and she obviously is always looking for clean comedians and they were told that you were not, that you're dirty, but it's not the type of humor for a pass of a program no, not yet. And you were up there talking full Jim Nortonorton and she just said to me she goes, obviously I can never use him, but he's so clever, even though even though he it's material, that I it's uh risky or or uh, but it's so clever the way he presents it. And that's just so you understand that Jim Norton is absolutely a comedian that is just will go down in history as one of the best comedians we've had. You're very sweet. And then you popped into the we met you in.
Speaker 1:Montreal Do you remember that? I do Remember that, yes.
Speaker 4:You were in hiding.
Speaker 1:Yes, you were very. It was very schindler's list.
Speaker 3:You were very crazy. I said she has big hands.
Speaker 4:They're good for the music munitions you guys were the first couple we met like well, at least here in the us. We were the first couple that we ever went to, to your house, to your place, yes, and we had dinner.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember the first time.
Speaker 4:It was so long ago, it was so long ago.
Speaker 1:What was that in Montreal? What was that in Montreal the time we met you?
Speaker 4:We were at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but when was it?
Speaker 3:20- 20-. Wait, it was before it was 2019. 20? No, we got back in 2019, so it was 2019.
Speaker 4:Can't believe it. Yeah, you guys look, just the same. No.
Speaker 1:I remember walking out. You look hotter. You look hotter for sure. I remember walking out and I go.
Speaker 4:Well, you look hotter too, Really, wow, yeah, oh, thank you so much. Yeah, bomb, she does get more attractive with age. It really is bizarre Nikki gets hotter with age.
Speaker 3:It really is bizarre Nikki gets hotter with age. Most people you look at like wow 10 years ago, but you look better as you go.
Speaker 4:That's very sweet of you.
Speaker 2:Thank you very much I don't know if you remember this, but I remember talking to you at the cellar when she was I think you were still in Europe, maybe and you were telling me that you met this beautiful girl, so in love with her, and it was like this whole dramatic story that was so long ago.
Speaker 3:That was that might have been 2017. We were talking then and then we had broken up for a while and got back in 2019. We broke up in 2018 and got back in 2019.
Speaker 1:I remember I helped Jim Norton decorate his apartment. Yes, he has a beautiful apartment.
Speaker 4:Can you do it again?
Speaker 2:Yes, it could have been worse.
Speaker 1:Wait, and the main thing was these Black Sabbath posters. Yes, and I had no idea. And I kept looking at these Black Sabbath posters and I go do you know that they're not the same people in every poster? I had no idea they took different people right, well, no.
Speaker 5:It changes people in every poster. I had no idea.
Speaker 3:They took different people right.
Speaker 5:No, it was different groups. I had different groups.
Speaker 1:They replaced them. Oh my gosh, but the apartment was amazing and it was just so. I remember he didn't call and say can you help me decorate? He says hey, modi, where can I find track lighting? I said in 1980. That's where you can find what do you need? And then we got there and I was blown away. Your apartment's sick your apartment's sick and at first you were kind of hiding that too. My audience doesn't fit what my audience thinks I should be living in and all that.
Speaker 3:I never want to seem like I'm brat. You know what I mean when people who like you. You never want to show off things Like it. Just I don't think they would care, but you never want people to think that you are trying to show you want to feel relatable. You just don't want to think like show off to people, like I don't know. I just I've always been weird with that.
Speaker 1:Like I'm not saying to brag about it, but maybe not put up all those Kiss posters, because it's way worse now than what it was. That is terrible. The framing of the whole thing we had to work, the framing of this. It could have been worse. It could have been worse. It's really bad right now, but I got that big runner rug I love that rug Right, just so no one doesn't want to look at those posters to have something nice to look at something organic and something like I appreciate it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's awful.
Speaker 1:And then you had a big flood, and then you had a oh my.
Speaker 3:God, I had two floods Wow, two floods and the floors replaced twice. But again, insurance covered it and they just dug it up and they replaced it.
Speaker 1:We had the living, it's all good and fixed it's so, yeah, and, and, and. Now there's a feature in there. That's that's I mean.
Speaker 5:Look, at this.
Speaker 1:Thank you so much, and you you look not for nothing, like you're not organized, like your stuff is everywhere? Yep, is it everywhere?
Speaker 4:yes, you really are a lady but um, it's, that's because jim it's not easy to decorate in the house. It's's very messy right now because Jim is a hoarder.
Speaker 2:And there's gadgets.
Speaker 3:You said stuff's all over the place. How do I get it?
Speaker 4:No, but that's just like makeup and pretty stuff Like at least it's pretty.
Speaker 1:It's not just like Open suitcases with pink flying on. It is not. He doesn't hoard, he has baseballs with people's signatures on them Collecting. There's a difference in collecting.
Speaker 4:You know there has to be a lot of changes in order for me to feel like I'm at home. And I'm going to start I actually talked about it before leaving that I'm going to go back home after this podcast and completely OCD organize.
Speaker 3:So I'm going to start moving all your stuff, but the bedroom is yours, like whatever you want to do in the bedroom she can do. She can decorate that any way she wants In. She can decorate that any way she wants in the kitchen, in the kitchen.
Speaker 1:In the kitchen. The kitchen, it's a counter with a sub-zero. It's a sub-zero with three cabinets and a thing.
Speaker 3:The kitchen. I guess I should rephrase it, we have a wall. The living room and kitchen run into each other, so it's like one room and there is a wall there which I've been dying to hang a kiss post on.
Speaker 4:but it and there is a wall there which I've been dying to hang a kiss poster on. Oh my God, but it's hers.
Speaker 1:He has a Toto toilet. I know the toilet he has. But to backtrack a little bit here, when you have a view that he has, it's these two massive ones. You don't hang a picture in the middle.
Speaker 4:Especially not that one.
Speaker 1:Anyone A kiss. You had Ozzy Osbourne there. No but now I have, but it's. You had Ozzy Osbourne there no, but now I have.
Speaker 3:It's a movie vibe. Now I have a Woody Allen signed poster.
Speaker 1:I have a Richard Pryor two Pryors you have that are. Oh yeah, those are on the wall, but I have a poster from the movie theater.
Speaker 3:It was like film live when he was advertising the 1979 concert which made me want to do comedy. That's why I do comedy that sounds really cool. I'm sorry to tell you.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:I know, but in the middle the window, the way he's talking about you would not be happy. There's only it's Kiss Meets the.
Speaker 1:Phantom it's this oh my, it's not necessary, I'll show it to you. It's just these beautiful views. You walk in and you view of all of downtown and like Brooklyn and like whoa, and in the middle is some kiss thing.
Speaker 4:You remember that awesome picture. How pretty he looked in it, like it was almost gay vibes. It's weird because it was like imposing all handsome when he was 25 yeah, I was 1973 do you know how?
Speaker 1:I know that Richard Pryor is the reason you're cut your cut? You're a comedian. I don't know if you remember we took a class together.
Speaker 3:With Bob Krakauer.
Speaker 1:That's right. Me, you and Rich Voss, me, jim Norton, rich Voss and the rest of the kids all got in An acting class. An acting class Because the rest of the kids were all from Juilliard and it was us three. Bob Krakauer loved comedians and he loved us. So imagine all of these kids that went to Yale Drama and now they're getting their MFA in Juilliard. And me, rich Voss and Jim Norton. And we're sitting there and they're like okay, so let me hear a monologue. And they had a Shakespeare monologue, they had a comedy monologue and some other kind of monologue. It goes to Rich Voss why don't you go do a monologue? Rich went up and did his act. It's good to be here. I have a car. I have a car.
Speaker 3:whatever his line, was with the car. It's not a monologue, it's a monotonous.
Speaker 1:One of the things you did was about an autograph you had from richard prior, when he already had um ms yeah ms that's a comedy story yeah, yeah, so you talked about that. I remember it was a very touching moment.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah he was very sick and, uh, I had only met him once or twice and he couldn't sign anything. But I asked him to sign my. I used to collect autographs from my business cards, like it was personal and it felt like legit. So I asked him. He signed two things. He's like no more. And I said to the woman who was with him I'm like I'll never have this chance again. And she's like Rich, I'm a comedian.
Speaker 1:She's like Richard, richard, and we had a picture moment too. You and I were shopping for sofas, or, as you would call them, couches, and we were in a store with Seal. Remember Seal?
Speaker 3:Yeah, was he with Heidi Klum.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, no, I caught Heidi and he goes. Nevermind Heidi, that's Seal.
Speaker 5:They were furniture shopping yeah.
Speaker 1:No, they were furniture shopping and Jim had a coffee and you can't walk in the store. So he left the coffee there and their dog was sniffing it and she was. I'm so sorry. And Jim said I'm more afraid for the dog. That was Jim is so fat. Jim is from that comedy school, like him, rich Voss. They're so fast. Like I would have gotten that, but I didn't need a minute to put something together there and that's it.
Speaker 3:But then again you have three sold-out shows at the Beacon and I've got 25 tickets sold in Stroudsburg. So, I would say win Modi. Whatever skill you have is the skill we need. Which?
Speaker 1:is our next topic Our soulmates, the. I have Leo, which is our next topic Our soulmates. The reason I have shows at the Beacon is because I have Leo and he organized everything in my life with an agent, with there's a guy taking pictures of us here now to make the web, to make the podcast, a bigger thing.
Speaker 4:That's so sweet. Yeah, are you kind of like Ozzy and Sharon in a way?
Speaker 1:Who.
Speaker 4:Like Ozzy and Sharon Ozzy Osbourne.
Speaker 5:Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon yeah His manager yeah, yeah, I love that If I'm like this. No, but you guys are you're a comedy couple now.
Speaker 1:It's a new phenomenon. You're not just I'm not just me anymore. It's me and Leo, and Leo's been opening the shows.
Speaker 4:No, I intro the shows Really With a comedy.
Speaker 5:It's housekeeping.
Speaker 1:Housekeeping announcements.
Speaker 5:But he gets lines in there.
Speaker 1:I love that it's like. Literally it is. It's first of all when I grew up and my mom used to take me to shows. My mom used to always take me like whenever Israeli performers came to America, they would always have the producer of the show come out, thank the audience for buying tickets and let them know what else is coming. It was a polite thing. The producer of the show thanks the audience. Leo produces these shows. The Beacon Show is a Leo production. He organized it with, not Live Nation. What's it called? Aeg?
Speaker 5:I think it's Madison SquareG. That's pretty amazing.
Speaker 4:Whoever is an agent with?
Speaker 1:UTA, but he's producing it, so go and thank the audience for buying tickets, and they love looking at him.
Speaker 5:I say thank you for buying tickets, because I like to buy stuff. You're one of the most handsome men I've ever seen.
Speaker 3:It's true, with the exception of your husband, young men.
Speaker 1:Young man, Young man. So he's a part of it and people now follow him and they follow me and they follow him to find out where I am, because I don't post like, hi, I'm in Connecticut. But they look at, oh, they're in Connecticut and it's like a fun thing and you guys are just are the wow, you saw that right away.
Speaker 3:People I'll do meet and greets after like paid meet and greets, and most times there's a lot of them asking for her too. They're like is she here, is Nikki here? Like they want to take pictures with and when she is there, I brought her out and most of them want to take photos with her too. Same yeah.
Speaker 2:Same. You guys are charging extra for that. No, it's so bad.
Speaker 4:Yes, I should start doing that $20.
Speaker 1:That's it, it's worth more.
Speaker 4:Well, it's $75 for a cameo.
Speaker 1:Okay, $75. I'm up to $120 right now. $120, $150. Wow, you do cameos on your own.
Speaker 4:Yes.
Speaker 1:You have your own cameo.
Speaker 4:Yes, I've gotten, seven cameo requests. Wow, that's a lot.
Speaker 1:That's great. Maybe after this a little more. Ladies and gentlemen, what's the name on cameo?
Speaker 4:Miss Nikki Norton, I think.
Speaker 1:MS.
Speaker 4:Nikki Norton.
Speaker 1:It's very nice, we're going to put a link in the description.
Speaker 3:We're putting a link into this. Into your cameo profile. It might just be Nicky Norton, I don't know. I don't remember.
Speaker 1:Good for you. Do you enjoy doing cameos? Do you or no?
Speaker 4:Sometimes Not really.
Speaker 1:What are they requesting? What are they requesting?
Speaker 4:Like just to talk and read a message you know I get very embarrassed.
Speaker 2:You guys make this your own.
Speaker 4:No, but you know what I was naked my whole life on camera and now that I'm doing this, actually being me, it feels like I'm stripped more than being naked. It's weird and I mostly I don't enjoy it. Like 50 of, I would say, 75 of the time I don't enjoy it. I get nervous, I get hot flashes. I don't do. I have social anxiety right now a little bit. Oh yeah, of course, shaky. Always when I do a podcast I have to pee. I'm shaky, I'm nervous. I mean every single podcast I've done I'm like I'm going to piss my fucking pants. I don't know why that is, but you can always just go.
Speaker 1:But I do go, you look so at ease.
Speaker 4:But I'm really not and it's really hard. How about the?
Speaker 1:Canada stuff when you guys are on planes. Mm-hmm, when you're on a plane and you're just like, and he sticks his tongue in your ear or something, how does, are you nervous on that? Or is that just too spontaneous to be nervous on?
Speaker 3:On the Instagram and stuff on those videos that we make, like just the quick ones you've.
Speaker 4:Oh no, but that's easy because then I have like. If I have the control of the camera, it's different. But if I'm in a setting where I don't have control of what I'm doing, because when I did what I did, my camera was here and I was literally my own producer.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 4:It wasn't like it was a webcam, you know, uh-huh, so you can put it whenever and from a good angle. You know, like Barbra Streisand had to adjust the whole angle and everything she did, I don't want to be like that, but you know, yes, you do no.
Speaker 1:if there is a good angle, I'm just like thank God the camera's working. But I'm very nervous when I do things, okay, well, you don't seem it.
Speaker 4:So thank you. Yeah, good for you, it's a new life and that was one of the questions.
Speaker 2:Was that were you?
Speaker 4:did you always like, want to be public, or no right I honestly didn't want to be public and a lot of people think that I'm using jim as a stepping stone and it's annoying because I kind of felt like I had to be public because he's a public person, so if it would be hard for him to be a comedian talking about me on stage and not including me, in his life, idiots you can't and I do have fun being public too.
Speaker 3:Like it is fun I wanted it to be where people like you, because people are going to say what they're going to say, but it's like now there's a visual record of us.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:So we've told you things and showed you things. You're not just speculating and then we're rebounding and responding to your speculation.
Speaker 4:I don't like to be funny all the time I feel like. It desexifies me and it makes me uncomfortable. That's why I show my body a lot, because it alleviates my gender dysphoria. I feel more feminine when I show my body because my face is masculine. No, it's okay. No, but my body is more feminine than my face, it's okay. I think you're very feminine, thank you. You're very beautiful.
Speaker 1:Beautiful and you're fabulous and you're hysterical without even trying.
Speaker 2:And one of the funniest things that like literally because you pop up on my Instagram all the time. That makes me laugh every single time where it says in your bio married to at jim norton not as many laughs as I hoped for.
Speaker 1:I didn't see that.
Speaker 5:Wait I I want to talk to you. You're like really into like norwegian heavy metal music.
Speaker 4:I do love norwegian black metal I actually um, put a song on my um instagram and I got a warning for being associated to a dangerous organization.
Speaker 2:Really yeah, but I didn't Baby.
Speaker 4:Jim, I didn't know that he was really like a Nazi. I didn't know that it was legit. I don't know that much about the lore, I just like the music.
Speaker 3:She just likes the music. But you can choose it on.
Speaker 5:Instagram. It's kind of scary music.
Speaker 3:It was like you can choose it on Instagram. It's kind of scary music. It was like you could choose it.
Speaker 5:Yes, but I like everything musically, oh wow.
Speaker 4:Black metal. I like everything.
Speaker 5:You also like some hyper techno.
Speaker 4:I love techno.
Speaker 5:I love techno 90s trance and techno is my favorite, I love techno.
Speaker 4:I love it. Oh my God, I show my friends my music and they show me like I don't know something else from now.
Speaker 1:You're not a techno guy.
Speaker 3:No, but I don't hate it, though I listen to a lot of it. I'm like that's good. I know it's good. I wouldn't download it or buy it, but I hear it.
Speaker 1:Have you ventured into, like the techno world of Brooklyn, the basement? Oh, nicky, nicky.
Speaker 4:What's that?
Speaker 1:Oh, wow.
Speaker 4:We have to take you out. I don't think Jim will be at the club You'll put.
Speaker 1:Jim to bed at 8.30.
Speaker 2:After his last, like an old dementia He'll be so happy he's not there.
Speaker 1:He'll be so happy, put a CPAC, whatever his top gun, look, put it back and we'll go out. There's places in Brooklyn with amazing technology.
Speaker 4:I would love that.
Speaker 1:Oh, my god and it's an Uber ride away, an Uber ride home. I love that. There's no, you're in the middle of nowhere and love, I love that. Really great places.
Speaker 4:I've never been to a club, ever. You'll come in New York, at least in New York.
Speaker 1:No, never in the of the best come through here. Obviously it's New York, brooklyn, williamsburg, the Knockdown Center.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I haven't been to any scene.
Speaker 1:No, Honey, Dijon, nothing. You haven't gone out dancing any of that stuff.
Speaker 2:He doesn't let you out of the house. Well, yeah, but she can go do what she wants but I don't like clubs like that.
Speaker 3:I would dance to techno all night, would you? No, it's so good.
Speaker 1:Are you?
Speaker 5:making music too.
Speaker 4:Sometimes I have 15 listeners on Spotify and that's okay.
Speaker 5:That's something, thank you. What are you producing?
Speaker 4:I like to rap in Norwegian Interesting when are you from?
Speaker 1:in Norway. Give us Norway what's Norway Two hours away from Oslo, the capital.
Speaker 4:So, it's basically like if Oslo is here, you go down. It's the deeper woods of Norway.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 4:And my family is from even further deeper in the woods.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 4:So it's. I wouldn't, even I would call it beyond hillbilly, but it's not like broke hillbilly it, but it's not like bro-kill-a-billy. It's beautiful, the fjords. I'm very proud to be Norwegian. And I feel like I have a hard time integrating to America because I'll always be Norwegian. I'm going to die in Norway. I do believe that.
Speaker 1:For a hot minute. There was an airline called Norwegian Air.
Speaker 2:Is it still in?
Speaker 1:existence.
Speaker 3:Is it still around?
Speaker 2:The cheap.
Speaker 4:It was cheap Red plane.
Speaker 1:It's probably terrible, it's a white plane with a red head. That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 4:It looked like somebody pulled back a uncircumcised
Speaker 3:penis.
Speaker 1:That's what it looked like. That's what it looked like, but you could fly for 800 bucks to Oslo and connect there to anywhere in Europe for 800 bucks in business.
Speaker 5:Sure.
Speaker 1:And it didn't go all the way back, but it went back enough it was comfortable.
Speaker 5:It was comfortable. We only took that like twice.
Speaker 1:We took it like twice, no, a little more. We took it like and it had a London flight anyway.
Speaker 4:but we were in Oslo a few times. The hardest part for me to move is that I don't speak Norwegian anymore and I know that my English is good and everything. But I feel like if I make make friends.
Speaker 1:It's not real because it's not my language, I don't connect, you don't speak norwegian?
Speaker 4:no, I do, but I'm not anymore. I don't have any friends anymore.
Speaker 2:I don't have any norwegian friends we have to get you some norwegian friends. You must know, daniel daniel simonson.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we want to have him on the podcast at one point he is.
Speaker 4:I love him, yeah, I. Oh my God, he's amazing.
Speaker 2:He is one of my favorite.
Speaker 5:I'm fascinated by his act. Yeah, I love him. How, what?
Speaker 2:First of all, he's one of the sweetest people in the world and I think he's like one of the most brilliant comics.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's great, we don't know him.
Speaker 1:I don't know him well. It's a character type of a thing With the whole. Thing on the problem with the accent. He gets huge laughs. It's a chance when you go up there as a character. It's not that much of a character.
Speaker 2:It's him, it's him, he's much more shy in real life. I mean, I know him quite well, so with me it's not like that, but he's much more outgoing on stage than he is in real life. Wow.
Speaker 5:I love him. So you're from outside of Oslo.
Speaker 2:And how insane to wind up in New York City.
Speaker 5:Yeah, like what's more of like? Tell us the timeline a little bit more.
Speaker 4:Well, I talked to Jim when I was in my norwegian apartment and I asked him how much does your apartment cost?
Speaker 3:that's the first thing she said to me, like we were talking and I just watched.
Speaker 1:So you're also jewish, so you're also a little jewish, jewish people I'm actually in norway.
Speaker 4:I've never I didn't even know what a yarmulke was until I moved to I have one for you here.
Speaker 1:I'll give you one. Oh my god, I love the jewish people, because I didn't even know what a yarmulke was until I moved to Canada. I have one for you here.
Speaker 4:Really, I'll give you one. Yes, oh my God, and I love the Jewish people, because I didn't even know what a Jewish person was until I came to. I'd never seen one Orthodox, never Didn't even know what that was. They didn't teach me that in school.
Speaker 1:And then there was that evening in Montreal when you met me.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and it was a crash course.
Speaker 2:A crash course, Okay so you guys met online and you were talking. You were in your apartment in Norway.
Speaker 4:Yes.
Speaker 3:I booked gigs to meet her. We talked for like seven months. She couldn't get in the US.
Speaker 4:I smoked weed in Norway when I was 18, so I had a really hard time. Five years took me, you know.
Speaker 3:Because of a ticket for pot. I needed a waiver for a federal conviction.
Speaker 1:It's crazy, it's insane.
Speaker 4:So, but Canada didn't have a problem with it. I didn't enjoy living in Canada. I've never felt more empty in my life.
Speaker 1:I remember you had nothing to do there, nothing. It was no job, it was just oh God, I was there for, like what?
Speaker 4:almost three years.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it probably was three years.
Speaker 4:About two, a little over that was probably like I do look back at that and you know good times and whatever, but honestly that was just empty.
Speaker 1:Like you know, and 20 years from now, it's going to seem like it was a day yeah.
Speaker 4:But it's weird because from the age I've been 21, until now 27, it's like life has been a little stagnant. I know that sounds weird for me to say that, doing all these things with Jim, but my personal life has been very stagnant. I don't do that much.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, you make it seem like you're as busy as they can be, which is very good. Did you lose fans?
Speaker 3:Yeah, sure I mean, but I don't care, I knew it was coming, I didn't. I don't give a shit, like if they think I'm not funny anymore, that's fine, but I like my act, I think the material is good. Like I'm not mailing it as a stand up, like I think. So I feel like I'm doing my job, yeah, but if they don't like me, for my personal, I don, you don't want to.
Speaker 5:That's bad energy.
Speaker 4:I read all comments and sometimes I feel like I'm dragging his career down.
Speaker 3:No, I don't care at all People have sent me messages too.
Speaker 5:I've gotten crazy messages from people saying that, like you know, I'm sending Modi to hell and like all this crazy stuff.
Speaker 4:A lot of people think I'm going to kill him.
Speaker 5:Oh, really A Viking attack Battleaxe Bald head.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they Viking attack Battle axe Bald head.
Speaker 5:Yeah, they do Some of them are pissed off at it, but I don't care. But what you said earlier about you know, doing things together and there being like a visual record and it's not just something you're speculating, yeah, and that's like something that we tried to do in terms of just like taking control of the narrative. Yeah, a little bit, a little bit so like when that variety piece came out, where like Modi like officially came out even though he'd been out for years and we'd been together for years, but like it wasn't on paper, there wasn't like a record of it and it was us telling our story instead of someone being like guess what I heard?
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're speculating about what the motives were or how you met.
Speaker 4:It's kind of like how we felt too yeah, that's how we felt too yeah.
Speaker 1:But you know I was. All the comedians always knew I was gay. Yes, of course it wasn't like I was high, I just didn't talk about it on stage. Yeah, I didn't talk about dating girls. I just talked. That wasn't the act. It wasn't a dating type of an act.
Speaker 2:It interesting when you're so public, like people think that like you owe them some explanation about your personal life, right, which is insane because, well, you've talked about that, how comedy has evolved from two guys walk into a bar to why don't you say it again?
Speaker 1:comedy went from two guys walk into a bar, one says this and that then it had become I walked into a bar and this and that. Then it's me and my wife and my three kids who they need to know that it's a part of the act.
Speaker 1:You think comedy has become more personal, it's much more personalized. And then they it's like listen when someone says there's an amazing restaurant I want you to go to with me. First thing, you do look at the Instagram. Who's the chef? What are the dishes? Let's go Norton, jim Norton. Who's Jim Norton?
Speaker 3:That's the most common response, especially if you're asking HBO or Netflix.
Speaker 1:So they want to know who the comedian is and who he's married to and what they're doing. It's a part of the brand.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and it's also. I don't mind them wanting to know my personal business because I've talked about it on the radio for so many years.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So they kind of come to expect like you're going to let them know what's going on. It's a very personal relationship hours a day?
Speaker 1:Which sinus is more open than the other one?
Speaker 5:is. Can I tell you something? So your show on SiriusXM your fans are, or the listeners I don't know if I should call them fans every time Modi's on the show, which we're very appreciative for and it's they're very helpful very helpful I the Twitter is just blowing up of just like vile mean people. No, it's always just like these two shitbags and this and that they glad they came to, decided to come to the studio today. They're not on vacation anymore. I guess you guys sometimes take a break for a little bit.
Speaker 2:God forbid.
Speaker 5:Every time Modi's on, I get tagged in all these crazy. What is that fan?
Speaker 1:base. But when we addressed them one time, we addressed them on the air and the guy wrote back sorry, I was just kidding A lot of them there are hateful ones, but a lot of them are just being funny.
Speaker 3:From the Opie and Anthony days the humor was barbaric and it was mean, but we loved each other. You know we would say horrible shit to each other, like to Voss.
Speaker 4:Your fans are terrible. They are.
Speaker 3:They're awful, but a lot of them really are just being funny in their own way and they're communicating in a way that they hear us communicating with each other. It doesn't always translate through text. When you're an anonymous person, Like you know, I know the guys I'm making fun of or I'm saying it.
Speaker 4:But a lot of his fans are kind of this community online that I feel like sometimes they do riff but they're always toxic, completely all the time, 24-7. They tell me terrible things.
Speaker 3:I also know a lot of it's bullshit too, like when you never say anything positive no, but like if they tell me that I should die.
Speaker 4:that's not a joke.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, A lot of them.
Speaker 4:I mean it could be a joke, but it's not.
Speaker 3:It could be or it could be meant. Some of them mean it and some of them are kidding.
Speaker 4:A lot of what they say is not jokes all the.
Speaker 3:But I'm just realistically, having dealt with them for all these, years.
Speaker 4:I feel like it's the worst corner of the internet these people.
Speaker 2:I feel like they're also trying to emulate the humor In a way, yeah. Like the way that they see you guys interacting. They're trying to do that too. The difference is that they're not funny.
Speaker 5:But that's hard when you're seeing it as the lens of the partner Right. Yes, of course, from Nikki's shoes.
Speaker 1:So when Leo sat at the comics table at the comedy cellar and he sees how comics go at it with each other, he explained to me you know, you can't do that with other people. Comedians have their own way to communicate. I'll never forget one time someone came in I forgot who it was. A younger comedian came to the table and showed everybody oh look, I'm in this article on GQ. And Jim said oh, can I see that? Took it and ripped the entire magazine and I was like you can't do that in real life. In real life you can't just oh, let me see that.
Speaker 3:And ripped the whole thing. I bought Rich Voss' first CD. The first CD he sold was 10 bucks and he handed it to me. I'm like I want to pay you for it. And I paid him and then I stepped on it and broke it, smashed it.
Speaker 5:You guys have a unique way of showing love, yeah.
Speaker 1:But you can't communicate like that, so your fans think that they can communicate like that.
Speaker 3:You can't tell. Sometimes she's right, though they are being hateful, but there are a lot more times that they're kidding, but you can't tell they're kidding. But like if you hear me and Keith Robinson talk, shut up.
Speaker 4:You can't hear that we're kidding. Well, I don't mean just the Jim and Sam people, I mean, like the ONA people. Yeah Right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:ONA is Opie and Anthony for different audiences, some of them are very funny too.
Speaker 3:I laugh a lot.
Speaker 4:Me too. I laugh out loud sometimes.
Speaker 3:We've seen pictures of ourselves that were so.
Speaker 1:Because you're a roasty type. It's a roasty type of a thing.
Speaker 3:But they've done a few pictures of me and her which were not at all complimentary.
Speaker 4:Where he was pregnant and I'm holding around him Like.
Speaker 5:AI pictures. No, he's the guy who drew it.
Speaker 3:And it was meant to make us look rather bad. Mission accomplished. We really laughed, though. I mean she showed it, we laughed. I mean you can't not laugh at something if it's funny, even if it's mean. I like mean jokes.
Speaker 4:I always appreciate mean jokes if it's a joke.
Speaker 5:So jokes if it's a joke. So what's some of like the logistics of having like your serious show, like how often do you?
Speaker 3:and uh, sam, monday through thursday, 8 to 11 um october was the 20 year anniversary of me being there 20 years, yeah, with lp and anthony, and then just they'll be then with sam, and before that I did broadcasting in 2000, 2001 and 2 until we get fired. So from 2000 until now, with a, I guess, a two-year break from when I did Tough Crowd. But yeah, I'm kind of like a podcast seems like a better idea at this point, just because it's so much less work. Like to do one or two hours a week instead of 12 hours a week. It's a lot.
Speaker 5:It's a lot. I'm fascinated whenever we've done your show or other shows in that building and there's so many things happening in there and like obviously SiriusXM is such a huge platform but it seems like it's like evolving also and like you guys are there so much.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a lot. I mean Opie and Anthony, at one point we were on from 6 am to 11. And it was five days a week, so it was 25 hours a week. You were on the air, it was a lot of talking and you just after a while you're like what?
Speaker 2:else do I have to?
Speaker 1:say You're burnt out.
Speaker 3:You're burnt out Like they know everything there is to know about me, but it's done.
Speaker 1:Well, listen, your producer back there is popping up whatever needs to pop on the screen and then you pop a line.
Speaker 3:You've been on the show.
Speaker 1:Not Jim and Sam. No, oh, I thought I saw you on.
Speaker 3:Sirius XM stopped filming at all. We have cameras and they don't use them, so I didn't want to bring her on and just not film it. And it almost seems too personal because it's my show. I don't know. I mean, we did a lot of podcasts and we just didn't do much.
Speaker 2:I'm waiting for you guys to get a TV show.
Speaker 3:Hopefully. I mean, we do have something that we're working on Again. What will happen with it, we don't know, but there is a process starting, so we'll see, I feel like.
Speaker 2:This is like a great American love story. I really do.
Speaker 1:It is.
Speaker 4:Jim is the sweetest man in my life. Aww, I know that even if I were to divorce Jim.
Speaker 3:I mean, it's always something awful.
Speaker 5:Even if I were to put a hatchet in his skull, it's never a beginning middle and end.
Speaker 3:That's nice. It's always like I love Jim.
Speaker 4:I'm very self reflected, and I feel like, even if I did, I would never, ever meet a nicer man than Jim, and that's just the truth he's one of the nicest people on earth.
Speaker 1:I can explain it to you. One time we did a show, we were judges at the comic strip. Oh, was that Richie me? You, richie Tenkin? We did a show, we were judges at the comic strip.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah was that Richie me?
Speaker 1:you, richie Tankin, and uh two other comedians.
Speaker 3:Patrice did it, but I don't know if he did it with us.
Speaker 1:Patrice did it too. He was the best part of the whole show, um, but it was um. These young comics came on and we would judge them and we would just, we would just take it. He would never take a shot at the comedian. He would always make it a, uh, self-deprecation type of thing. It was a very amazing thing to watch. He would tell your ex stinks. He'd be like when I was younger, here's what I would do wrong and and it was very, very nice the way from for someone, for someone who's like a roasty type comedian who didn't just take the obvious open shot. Do you remember?
Speaker 3:that show. Yeah, I remember doing that, even when I do Kill Tony, which is just. It's a great show because he has all these young comics come on and Tony lets them do a minute and sometimes they're really good to him, sometimes they make fun of him. Yeah, but I always feel guilty shitting on a new comic, almost like because, like I know that that's a really vulnerable position and it's like you just remember being that person yeah, and it would hurt me.
Speaker 3:Some of them are probably much tougher than I was, but I just I never like to hit newer comics like I don't understand that whole phenomenon of kill.
Speaker 1:Tony, it's just, it's so big right they're in arenas.
Speaker 3:He did the garden two nights in a row. Wow, I mean sold it out both nights, wow. Um, I think what it is? It's a well-produced show and Tony is lightning fast. If you ever watch Hinchcliffe he's really fucking quick, like razor fast. So I think he keeps the show moving. He never seems nervous. He talks in the same tone, no matter how big the venue. So I think people just he's pleasant to look at, I guess.
Speaker 1:So yeah, he's an attractive yes, he's not too attractive. It he's an attractive, he's not too attractive. It's just that. No, no, you can't. You can't be gorgeous when you do comedy. It's not good. It's not good. You have to be somewhat attractive that it's easy to look at, but not stunning, because then, like, why is this stunning person doing comedy?
Speaker 3:He's handsome, with like a touch of Anthony Perkins, A little bit of fucking kill a girl in the shower vibe, but he's a good looking guy, yeah. And the comedians some of them are really funny and it's just a well organized show. There's a band. It's got like that old school feel to it and he built it. I mean it's been on for like 10 years now. I mean I did it at the comedy store many, many years ago, so he's been at it a long time and it finally just started catching on and catching and it's funny like people.
Speaker 1:people love it no, no, bless his heart. Great, great, great, great, great great. And what's, what's? What's on, what's on the horizon with you show wise, you are a traveling comedian, you are, you have shows coming up and all that, like what?
Speaker 3:I'm shooting something in uh in november, uh, either at the vu or the fat black. I want to do some material, like a lot of it about nikki and I. People know it already, they're aware of her, so I have to film this and then move forward.
Speaker 3:I'm getting bored a little bit of the same material, so it's time to shoot that. You'll be done with it. Yeah, and I don't know if I'm going to re-sign at radio. We're up at the end of December so I may not re-sign, or they they're begging, so we'll see what happens. I try to be realistic. I've tried to prepare her. The spending is going to have to change for both of us.
Speaker 4:That's okay. I have three pictures of three of his credit cards.
Speaker 3:There's always a way, and I don't spend crazy, you don't spend crazy.
Speaker 1:I don't go to Gucci. You're buying like 20, this, 20, that, no, it's not crazy. It's not crazy.
Speaker 4:Bought a designer purse on Jim's credit.
Speaker 3:Yes, because I wouldn't allow it.
Speaker 4:Ever. Well, you wouldn't allow it, I wouldn't allow it.
Speaker 3:Okay, and then I told her I'll buy her one. Like outside SiriusXM a lot of times there's like there's African guys.
Speaker 4:There's a beautiful garbage bag laid out and they have all these nice I told him.
Speaker 3:It looks the same.
Speaker 4:I deserve it. Okay, good for you, that's the attitude.
Speaker 1:That's the goal, pink Chanel.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:No, birkins, no, nothing like that, I don't really care about Birkins.
Speaker 4:Okay, I don't mind them.
Speaker 3:But you know that's an unrealistic ask. A pink Chanel if we had a certain financial thing? Or something like if we did a show and it got picked up.
Speaker 2:Those just appreciate in value.
Speaker 3:They do, they do, and believe me I've been told that before as someone trying to get me to invest.
Speaker 2:It's a very smart investment. A pink Chanel.
Speaker 3:Yes, they go up in price. You have a black Chanel, yeah yeah, and it went up in price. I hear that a lot. It's more valuable than it was, so I'll get her, but I have to stop spending $2,000 on kiss posters.
Speaker 4:I've been trying to figure out how I can make money, and there's something that's integrated in me that makes me feel like the only thing I'm good at is just I should be an OnlyFans, because I'm saying that I'm going to do that, but it's been my only skill in life, like I dropped out of school three times. My life has been a mess. I don't feel like like people tell me oh, you're funny and you're hilarious and you're good at things. But I don't feel that way. I really don't, and maybe sometimes I feel like I'm too far gone. I know that sounds terrible, but you're not, though.
Speaker 1:But mentally it feels that way. Yeah, that's just a mental block, that's an anxiety thing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, anxiety.
Speaker 5:Exactly into being a hot bad bitch.
Speaker 3:Thank you.
Speaker 5:You have to wake up in the morning and go. I'm a bad bitch, I thought you already leaned in.
Speaker 1:I wasn't expecting that From your social media. This bitch is rocking it.
Speaker 3:So you never know, right yeah now you're all nervous.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm a little hungover today.
Speaker 4:So I'm. You know emotional days Changes to my back country. I'm back home in Norway. You know my family is dying, things are changing and it's weird to watch it from a different country because you're out of it.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't know what you mean. Israel.
Speaker 4:I would never Really.
Speaker 1:To watch your homeland being bombed, and what's that like.
Speaker 4:What's that like? Yes.
Speaker 1:And hungover, but not usually hungover. I'm never hungover and, jim, you've been sober for about 1,000 years, since 87. Since 87.
Speaker 3:Wow, yeah, since I was an 18-year-old lad, since.
Speaker 4:I was minus 10.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was 10 years when she was born. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Wow, jim's been amazing. You're an inspiration to people who are suffering it.
Speaker 3:Or they look at me and go like what did you know? You only drank for a few years. You know what I mean. They also resent it too, they think, because you stopped young.
Speaker 4:Do you think I'm trying to humble myself, like, oh, I don't do anything, I don't go anywhere, I'm this sweet girl. I'm not trying to like fake humble myself because I am humble.
Speaker 1:But life has changed. I'm humble as she's sitting in first class, showing like the pod. Here's the pod that we're in. Don't have to be humble, you should just be you. You should be confident is what you should be thanks, yeah, I think so too.
Speaker 3:We talk sometimes. I'm like people love you, like it's hard to see sometimes when you're the person, but from outside we see people differently than they see themselves and I look at how people respond to her and how they talk to me about her and not things I ask them about. But they'll just say, hey, I was watching that thing and like things you never hear.
Speaker 4:I guess I just expected that when we went public that we would have a huge or more of a gay following and the gays, for whatever reason, they don't text me, they don't talk to me, they don't comment on my stuff ever, but it's always been that way. I don't know why it's like that with me.
Speaker 1:They don't see you as gay. They see you as a woman.
Speaker 4:They don't see me as a rainbow, and I don't know why I've never been included, probably because you snatched up one of the hottest gay prospects.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you took an eligible bachelor off the market.
Speaker 5:I mean they all had their eye on me, hoping I'd switch. Nikki, have you heard of a party in New York called Paul's Dolls?
Speaker 4:No, you know what a doll is right.
Speaker 5:What is it? A doll is what the trans women call themselves amongst each other. Am I correct? You don't know that. No, I know that there is a party that I should take you to. You took me. It's at Paul's, casablanca, downtown. It's called Paul's Dolls, okay, and it's just a trans night. I love that. It's like they have Amanda Lepore and Lennox and it's like they have Amanda Lepore and Lennox and it's like very fun. They have good music. Come with us and you would meet people I love that yeah.
Speaker 2:It's hard to move to another country. I mean full stop.
Speaker 5:Yeah, period Like forget everything else.
Speaker 2:I think it's really difficult and it takes a long time.
Speaker 1:It has been, and I think that you're probably an inspiration to a lot of people that's what you have to see yourself to let young people that are transitioning or doing their thing.
Speaker 4:There's a hope when I live in, find a gym.
Speaker 1:He's funny, he's funny he's doing well, he's easy to work with and then you just lean from one unorthodox couple to another unorthodox couple.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 5:There's a way to do it and be your own thing and do it your own way and inspire other people.
Speaker 4:Well, I kind of had a hard time because when I lived in Canada I did try to go to this LGBT convention and there were three, I would say, prettier girls there and I knew that I was like, considering the people that were there, as far as passable goes, I was absolutely there, but they were laughing at me and making like this laughing stock out of me, not trying to make friends, and it just made me feel weird and ever since then I'm like you know what I'm never, I don't want to be included around these people at all whatsoever, and I do feel like it's made me stay in my own lane type of person.
Speaker 2:I've tried to get hard less. First of all, that's awful, but I think that when people act like that, it has nothing to do with you.
Speaker 4:Oh, it's pure jealousy.
Speaker 2:It's just like they feel like shit about themselves.
Speaker 4:I know that, but I feel like a lot of I've met a lot of trans people and I feel like it's really, for whatever reason, with me it's hard to connect. I don't know why I communicate better with men. I I don't know why my whole life I have funny.
Speaker 3:I've had marvelous communications with trans people oh my god, I can't that clock.
Speaker 1:Is it 436?
Speaker 3:No, no, no, it's not that late, it's 257.
Speaker 1:And things like that can destroy me.
Speaker 3:No, it's 257. We're going to do this. We're good.
Speaker 1:We're good, so let's wrap up with shows.
Speaker 3:I just have a bunch of stuff, jimnortoncom, just a bunch of dates on sale if people want to come see me. I love the act I'm doing. I usually am, you know, not thrilled, but I like. I like where I'm at material wise very much, so I'm looking forward to shooting it too.
Speaker 3:Uh, but I'm happy good, so jim norton at jim nortoncom, yeah, and nicky and jim nyc, uh, for like vlogs and stuff we do and little podcast episodes, and hopefully we'll have audio to go with it too to help it grow, because right now it's just YouTube. I can't put audio on Spotify because of my radio contract. So, we're on YouTube just hoping people see it as opposed to an audio download that will get them into listening regularly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, put this into your feed because it's just fun and well, you know, obviously we have a very high Jewish audience. When you're watching the war, it's nice to all of a sudden, just out of nowhere, see Nikki being Nikki and Jim being Jim together. It's just a fun thing to watch. So you have tour dates coming up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there's a bunch. I got a bunch of cities. Give us a bunch. I got a bunch of cities Give us a few.
Speaker 1:You got one or two, three.
Speaker 3:Stroudsburg, pennsylvania, richmond, virginia. I got Northampton, massachusetts, I got Rhode Island. I think I'm doing something in LA too, at Melrose Improv, vegas, utah coming up. I have a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1:Amazing.
Speaker 3:Just trying to do anything. Mind coming with you If you want. You never want to go to small cities. I ask her if she wants to come and she's like, uh, she never wants to come to those little cities.
Speaker 1:Luckily Leo books mine, so we don't end up in small cities. That's good. Yeah, he's going somewhere where there's a Ritz-Carlton and a Four Seasons A gentleman to come.
Speaker 4:You like a Ritz Ritz and a Four Seasons? Yeah, good for you. And near an Equinox, I've never been to an Equinox.
Speaker 3:You did, I had you a membership and you stopped going oh the gym. Yes.
Speaker 4:Oh, I thought you meant the hotel.
Speaker 1:No, the gym.
Speaker 4:Oh, I did have a three-month membership at Equinox, but you know, it was just I don't know, because I feel like I go in the wardrobe, I can't really get naked. And since I can't, I'm like, why am I here? And if there's a mental, maybe I'm crazy, but I'm like maybe this woman hasn't mentally signed up for me being here and also the shame of going in the shower and getting undressed there. I don't want to feel that type of way.
Speaker 1:Oh, let me. So let's work this out. I'm sorry, we're about to end, so don't go home and listen to me. I want you to learn a Yiddish expression. You ready, kishen?
Speaker 4:Kishen.
Speaker 1:Tuchus, huh, kishen, tuchus, kishen, tuchus. Kishen is kiss and tuchus is ass. Kiss my ass.
Speaker 4:Okay, I nice steam.
Speaker 2:Get a nice steam and walk around there Balls hanging low, exactly.
Speaker 3:When I say go home. You can only shower home if you want to.
Speaker 4:No and I also felt like it was a meeting spot for people to fuck, to be quite honest, because there's these beautiful, handsome trainers. This is a mingle spot, especially in New York like I'm not gonna. You're not wrong about it, I'm not gonna pretend it's not and I'm just like you're gonna go get your workout I don't know why it felt distasteful to me, but it did. I know I don't. I work, I do yoga at home in the fireplace in front of me.
Speaker 1:Take a benadryl or a sanax benadryl and yoga interesting, I love that Before going to the gym I take two hits of weed. I love that I have one pre-roll that lasts me for two weeks sometimes. Wow, really One pre-roll that's it, that's all I do before. I work out Only on days.
Speaker 1:I don't have a show at night. If I have a show at night, I don't even do those two hits. And then I love my Equinox. I put my ear, my music in and it's two hours of just. I'm in my own world and go to my act out loud. That's good.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, yeah, you go to Equinox or you're used to.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I hate the gym, so I do exercise.
Speaker 4:You just have the membership re-rolling with your exercise. No, I can't do this.
Speaker 3:Oh good, we have a gym in my building. I should use more, but I exercise, I do go to a gym, so I kind of work out there, but it's not like a structured muscle you don't lift.
Speaker 1:But you lost a lot of weight at one point, doesn't he look?
Speaker 3:good.
Speaker 4:He's skinny.
Speaker 3:I put weight back on.
